Issues with HBL and the hot shots UMD
Several people have reported issues with HBL running through the UMD of hot shots golf on some PSPs (most reports were for PSP 3000). The symptom: even the hello world doesn’t run.
I would usually assume that the error comes from the user (and, that’s initially what I did), but some users have been as far as buying the PSN version of the game in order to compare, and discovered that the exploit was working perfectly on the PSN version, but not on the UMD.
This might be a few isolated cases, but this is to let you know that I am aware of the situation and I will start investigating. Also, if you have a PSP 3000 6.30/6.31 with the UMD of hto shots golf, I am interested to get your feedback. Does the hello world work for you?
That’s a bummer, hope its a easy fix and doesn’t take up to much of your time because I’m dying for a 2011 Wagic update.:)
I know I need to chill but Wagic is so freaking good!!..
Anyway good luck with getting that problem fixed.
Thanks Wololo and team. 🙂
I have a 6.3 psp 3001
and is not well working
the load time is around 6 minutes the games run fine
when i tried the hello world was like 20 seconds
I have a PSP 3000 with 6.31 and am using the PSN version of HSG. Occasionally my PSP will freeze up when loading HBL, turn off, or go back to the XMB. It really isnt that bothersome cause it only takes a few seconds to get it loaded again. Still thrilled to have all these awesome homebrews 😀 Thanks again @Wololo
@Hey-man : unless you’re exaggerating, there’s a problem with your memory stick or your psp. the dev version of HBL (which is the slowest version) should load the menu in about 1 minute. Then loading a game takes between 30s and 1 minute.
The distrib version (recommended once you get HBL to work) loads the menu in 15s, and any game in 5~10 seconds.
The hello world should be immediate when it loads, less than 5 seconds once the UMD icon appears.
Remember guys, UMD is a optical disc and should take a bit longer than say loading Patapon 2 Demo from a memory stick.
I have the 3000 psp series with 6.31 firmware and hot shots golf: open tee (US UMD). The game will start to load with the little umd icon then that dissappears and it checks the memory stick for like a second but doesn’t load HBL it just shuts off. I know for sure that I have placed the files in the right place so its not that. I have tried the hello world file also and it does the exact same thing.
I have a slim psp 3000 ofw 6.30 and ran flawlessly with hbl umd Hot Shots Golf tested several emulators like cps1psp, cps2psp mvcpsp, daedalus, PicoDrive, snes9x, GPSP and Wagic 0.12.1 and all worked 100%. He is convinced that some emulators had entered a more slow good. I do not know what kind of problems people are having because for me it was something so simple to put on psp download.
ps: if any mistake in the words ouver excuse me, I live in Brazil
I have the UMD of HSG:OT (Greatest Hits, if that helps. I don’t know if the UCUS is any different than the original) and hello world booted right up for me every time I tried it. As for HBL, it crashes on occasion, but that’s a given. The past 3 days, it’s loaded up first try and hasn’t froze or shut off once. (I probably just jinxed it. haha)
I have PSP-2000 (fully hackable but doesn’t matter here) and when I try using the Hot Shot’s Golf exploit on ANY firmware 5.00 – 6.31, nothing happens. I couldn’t even provide memory dumps you requested a while back. I’m glad I’m not the only one here… hopefully when the problem with the PSP-3000 is resolved, my problem will be resolved as well.
@Organized_Chaos as far as I can remember, you have more issues than that, because your PSP even refuses to run PSPLink…
I have a PSP 3004 on OFW 6.31 and i don’t have any major problems. Only some occasional crashes.
ok this is an unrelated question but , i’ve seen people who have the patapon exploit so the patapon game has HBL pictures when you look at in XMB, could i do this with hot shots golf?
Hello Wololo. Can I use HellCat Recovery Flasher with HBL to change by a former OFW or CFW? I have a OFW 5.70, HBL you’ve used?
You’re doing a great job, I encourage.
Thank you.
@Mingo : No , you can´t
@w7y7a7t7t : Try this tool : “PBP Unpacker”. google for it.
Some times it takes me a couple of times to get hbl to fully load. Will start loading then freeze at random parts. But once open works flawlessly. I should mention this doesn’t happen if Im using a memory stick – only when using a micro sd to memory stick adapter
hi wololo i have ofw 6.31 psp 3003 and hbl is really fast on it and i havent had any crashes yet
i am using everybodys golf umd
PSP 3001 with 6.31 firmware and a greatest hits version of HSG:OT.
I had significant issues getting anything to run with the dev version of HBL, but the distrib version has worked like a charm. I get an occasional kick back to the XMB when initially loading HBL.
Successful programs:
NesterJ
FCEU (not full speed, though)
PicoDrive (some slowdown)
Wagic
Doom
ScummVM
Zombie Crisis
Unsuccessful programs:
Snes9xTYL (freezes on white screen)
psp please, i dont know what to do in hello world screen, can you help me ? (everybody golf)
Yeah, im new to this exploit thing but i know i did everything right and when i open up hot shots golf’s UMD, it loads to a black screen then for like 5 seconds a umd icon appears loading on the left hand side of the black screen then it stop and disapearsa and for like 20 seconds the psp screen stays black and after a while it shutsdown. When i turn on the psp it starts from the psp restart screen. I put the h.bin file on the PSP root and Hello World savdata in the savedata place. I am using the US version of the game on a (PSP 3001 with update 6.31). PLease i hope this helps you out a little Wololo anybody that can see a problem with my installation of the h.bin and savedata please tell me im really excited to play homebrew programs thank you.
“UMD of HTO shots golf, I ” I think you mean “UMD of HOT shots golf, I”
@ wololo
Yeah! you’re right about my problem was in the memory card
i tried with another one and is faster!

not much a donation, but this listing specifically writes that it will come with 6.20, wagic, and gpspkai undoubtedly. I haven’t seen many ebay listings that specifically mention the firmware version, so I just thought i’d mention it.
I have the PSP 3003 with firmware 6.30
Hot Shots Golf Open Tee
The only emulators that work are MAME4ALL and Picodrive (but I have yet to test the Roms)
I haven’t tested Wagic but have yet too.
I have problems such as it won’t boot the programme etc.
Some of the more advanced Roms on Mame such as “Willow” will not work.
If you need more info, let me know.
As others have stated before I have been having trouble with HBL on OFW 6.30 (psp 3001) When I run the HSG: OT UMD(us) the game loads for several seconds, then the system shuts off. Any help?
JoshuaCaleb make sure you downloaded the correct files and not the files for patapon 2 click on to this link and download the HBL rev 100 (US) http://wololo.net/wagic/half-byte-loader-for-the-golf-exploit-ofw-6-306-31/
make sure you put the files in the root of your memory stck.
I have a PSP 3001 with OFW 6.31 I downloaded HSG:OT from the PSN Network and Hello World And alot of the homebrews work perfectly when it loads i’m patient sometimes it takes 2 or 3 tries but most of the time it works and runs very smoothly
Does anybody know a good GBA emulator For Hello World and how to get it to work properly the one i have is loading the emulator but not the roms

hello, I have the Hot Shots Golf UMD original version
6.30 OFW
PSP 3001
My PSP sometimes freezes or shuts down when loading the HBL, others rarely works but when trying to use some emulator takes me out to the XMB
I hope you can help
thanks
: D
I have a psp 2001 6.31 OFW and I have had no problems what so ever with the hbl. Except a few emulators dont work but I have been able to find ones that work. So no problem there.
But I tried to set up my friends psp 1000 6.31 OFW with hbl. And I have everything set up on his memory stick the same way that I did on mine. But for some reason when we tried to load it up on his psp it didnt load up. It would just go black and crash. And I took his memory card and tried to load it up on my psp and it worked just fine. But then I noticed that our games were different. I had the greatest hits version of hot shots golf and he had the regular one.
This has to be the reason that some peoples arnt working. It dosnt have anything to do with the psp version.
I suggest that you guys look into that a little closer.
I don’t know if this is the right place to be asking questions but when I load the hot shots golf it gets to the menu with the emulators then when I click on n64 emulator it just goes black and I can still click home button and quit game but when I load snes is just say abunch of writing then goes back to the menu with the games and on gpsp is just make a weird purple blur then freezes how do I get these to work I really like playing emulators on my psp go 6.31
Hi wololo/all
I have recently purchased the PSP 3001 with OFW 5.70 , i have these queries
1.How i can use the HBL in it or any hack on this.
2.Do i need to update to the latest version 6.31 or some other versions(6.30/6.20/6.00).
Also i got the lastest game UMD data from china , I dono how to put it in PSP. Can anyone explain me how to do it ? I can share the games. Please reply @ valenteno123@gmail.com.
Waiting for the response.. Thank you
This response is a little late, but I just started using hbl. I have a Psp go, so it is through the PSN version of Hot Shots Golf. My problem is that when I boot up Hot Shots, it doesn’t always procede onto the homebrew list. And by that I mean that over 50% of the time, I have to go back to the XMB to try again. Is this normal, or am I doing something wrong?
hey i have 2 copies of hsg both “non greatest hits” and im wondering why one copy will freeze up and the other will run perfectly
any solution?
psp 3003 (EU) running 6.31 with hot shots golf open tee greatest hits UMD (US), loads umd for 5 seconds then black screen and shutdown
psp 3003 EU fw 6.31, got hot shots golf open tee greatest hits umd US (red one). cannot get hello world, tried older versions of hbl and still nothing
I have the PSP 3001 and fw 6.31. I have the PSN version of HSG:OT, and today I found a used UMD version.
(it doesn’t have the original game case, but would the greatest hits version say “greatest hits” on the disc?)
I don’t remember ever having an issue with HBL loading from the PSN version, but all I ever see on the UMD is a spinning disc, then a blank screen for 10 sec and then the PSP shuts off. I’ve deleted and re-installed HBL 109 including the .bin and the save hack. no luck. I think I’m just gonna look into some way to downgrade my firmware. thought I read that you could do a hex edit of an old fw to make the PSP think it was a newer version. (i.e. 6.35 instead of 5.*)
PS, I haven’t tried the H109 distrib version, or anything older. I’ll update this when I do.
